KAHOONA
KahoonaV2 vs. KahoonaV3: What has changed and why?
New canopy Ripstop
• Higher tear strength for improved impact resistance and durability.
• Improved Ripstop coating technique gives a crisper canopy fabric with enhanced performance.
• New canopy printing techniques integrate printing onto segments before final fabric treatment for more vibrant graphics.
New Dacron Materials
• Higher tear strength for improved durability.
• Better handling of bias loads for enhanced steering response and flight stability.
Both new materials lead to a more stable kite.
Lighter and adjustable bar pressure, introuction of trimming options.
• We introduce the A and B settings on the Kahoona V3 to increase versatility of the kite. This will make this kite more appealing to advance riders.
New Size
• 3.5m enables kids and women to build their ideal quiver
• Exceptional school kite. (Guroo will be discontinued.)
KahoonaV2 vs. KahoonaV3: What has stayed the same and why?
The DNA of Kahoona V2 has been preserved where possible.
The Kahoona V3 is a 4 strut, mid aspect Delta kite using the same bridle concept as the V2.

Nemesis HP V2 vs. Nememsis HP V3: What has changed and why?
Easier Relaunch
Revisions to the LE layout, bridle attachment point placement, newly located Twister Tech segments and a new Dacron material in the leading edge combine with tweaked bridle geometry to give easier and more consistent relaunched in all conditions.
New Canopy Ripstop
• Higher rear strength for improved impact resistance and durability.
• Improved Ripstop coating technique gives a crisper canopy fabric with enhanced performance.
• New canopy printing techniques integrate printing onto canopy segments before fina1 fabric treatment for more vibrant graphics.
New Dacron Materials
• Higher tear strength for improved durability.
• Better handling of bias loads for enhanced steering response and flight stability.
Both new materials lead to a more stable kite.
Improved Stability
• Greater arc stiffness enhances in flight stability.
• Improved bridle provides better handling across entire "angle of attack” range.
• Revised trailing edge design with new material selection a flows for removal of all trailing edge batten without flutter.
• Add 3D Scuff Guard for improved protection
The core elements such as responsiveness, aerodynamic efficiency and its unmatched explosive vertical lift, which have defined the performance-or previous HP designs remain unchanged, The easy turn initiation and moderate bar pressure characteristics of the HP have been retained and even improved upon.
The core physical formula that makes the HP so popular will be obvious for all to see.
• LE Arc and strut distribution
• High Aspect Ratio and projected area
• Hybrid Cuben Fiber LE construction
• Twister Tech
